Here is what people are saying about the A Dedicated Man (Inspector Banks Mysteries (Paperback))
3 Star Rating  "bland cozy english writing"2009-04-02
- Reviewed By User: A1YYA3T9FY6QU2
Again, with this the second book in Robinson's Inspecter Banks novels, we get a story that isn't all that exeptionally challenging. We learn just enough about Yorkshire and it's surounds to get us by, but I don't really feel like he took me all the way there.

Cozy PG rated mystery about sums it up. For every Peter Robinson Inspector Banks novel I plow through I also read an Ian Rankin Inspecter Rebus novel.

So far Rankin is winning the race in entertaining me.

4 Star Rating  "Another good story"2008-05-01
- Reviewed By romonko
This second in the Inspector Banks series does not disappoint. I enjoyed it as much as I did the first one. In this book, Banks is on the trail of a pretty cold and calculating killer who has killed a local man and buried him under rocks in the open area in the area of Yorkshire where Banks lives. Banks finds he has to start sifting through some past history in order to figure out who did the deed, and unfortuanelty he isn't quick enough to find out who it is before another murder occurs. People will go to great lengths to keep the past buried. This is a pretty good series and for anyone who likes British procedurals, it certainly fills the bill.
 
5 Star Rating  "Second Book in What Turns Out to be a Wonderful Series"2007-05-17

Peter Robinson grew up in Yorkshire, and is the author of a number of previous novels featuring Inspector Banks. He is the winner of numerous awards in the United States, Britain and Canada, and in 2002 he won the CWA Dagger in the Library. As I also come from Leeds the background to his stories is something that I have experienced first hand and because of this I have a special affection for his books. However they would be first class crime fiction wherever they were based.

The body of a well-liked and equally well respected local historian is found partially buried under of all things a drystone wall, close to the small village of Helmthorpe, Swaindale. Why would anyone want to murder a quiet unassuming man?

Funnily enough several people seem to be in the frame for the killing. Penney Cartwright, a folk singer with a somewhat murky past, a shady land developer and Harry's own editor, plus a local thriller writer. All of these characters play some part in Harry's past life. A life full of wonderful summers in the dale.

A young girl, Sally Lumb seems to know more than she is letting on and her knowledge could put her and others in danger. Inspector Banks is certainly going to have his work cut out with this case.

A good follow up to Gallows View but it didn't grip me quite as much.
Again a believable crime and good character descriptions.
It's great to read a book and feel like you know the town and the characters...Robinson certainly has a knack for realism.
 
4 Star Rating  "Not a bad mystery, but could have been better"2006-09-22
- Reviewed By mksmith1
This is the second in the series set in Yorkshire and featuring DCI Alan Banks, a London refugee just beginning to adapt to Northern ways. The story this time is set in a small community up the valley from the market town of Eastvale, where the police station is located. A retired academic with a mania for industrial archaeology and the inheritance to indulge it has been killed and his body left in a farmer's field. His immediate circle includes a local entrepreneur, an ex-folk singer returned home in disillusion, the local doctor, and another "incomer," an author of mystery novels (which allows Robinson to get in a few tongue-in-cheek digs). But then a teenage girl whose precocity and theatrical ambitions lead her to poke into matters on her own becomes the second victim. Where the first book spent a lot of time on the Chief Inspector's wife and family (necessarily setting the scene and establishing the characters), this one is much more the traditional police procedural, focusing on the murder itself, the suspects, and Banks's tireless efforts to pin the former on one of the latter. The denouement isn't exactly a deus ex machina, but I didn't think the reader received sufficient clues to even begin to logically identify the culprit. Robinson's beautifully orchestrated background narrative about life in rural Yorkshire, however, is worth the price of admission all by itself.
 
4 Star Rating  "Good series novel"2006-01-17
- Reviewed By 2manybooks
This one gets four stars from me, instead of three, for purely sentimental reasons. Several years ago I bought a copy of this book for a buck at a thrift store and thus was introduced to the excellent Alan Banks series by the Yorkshire-born Canadian Peter Robinson.

I recently re-read this one and find it strong on characterization but not as strong as to plot. The murder victim seems such an innocuous, even laudable, person, as we get to know him through Chief Inspector Banks' investigation. But gradually that picture is shaded with less admirable tones, until by the end I harbored the subversive thought, "maybe the world was better off without the selfish sod." However, by then the murderer had also dispatched a real innocent.

In the course of this case Banks explores the secrets, rumors and sometimes claustrophobic social landscape of a village as well as the physical landscape of some Yorkshire dales.

I don't think it's the strongest or best book in the series but I treasure my thrift store copy, which the author kindly autographed for me at a convention a few years ago.
